  Bookshop Interview with Author Meera Subramanian and Illustrator Danica Novgorodoff, Episode #277

  Aug 12, 202634 min

  Author Meera Subramanian and illustrator Danica Novgorodoff discuss their powerful new book, A Better World is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis . Set against the backdrop of the 2019 Youth Climate Strike in New York City, the book follows four young activists whose lives have been shaped by extreme weather events and the realities of a changing climate. Through their stories, readers gain a deeper understanding of the connections between environmental, economic, and social justice issues—and the many ways young people are working to create change. Meera, an environmental journalist, and Danica, a graphic novelist and illustrator, combined their talents to create a work that explores both the urgency of the climate crisis and the reasons for hope. At its heart, the book reminds us that there is a place for everyone in this movement. In this episode, I'll chat with Meera and Danica about the origins of the project, the unique challenges and rewards of their collaboration, and why the voices of the young activists featured in their book deserve our attention.

  Episode #275

  Bookshop Interview with Author Mima Tipper, Episode #276

  Aug 5, 202642 min

  Author Mima Tipper discusses her latest novel, Channeling Marilyn , a heartfelt and hilarious young adult paranormal comedy. The novel follows high school senior Lexa Donovan, who's tired of feeling like a supporting character in her own life. So when the tall, plus-size teen unexpectedly lands the role of Cherie, the sexy showgirl, in her high school's production of the play Bus Stop, she's shocked. After all, the role was immortalized by none other than Marilyn Monroe in the 1956 film adaptation. But Lexa's biggest surprise is still to come. Before she can talk herself out of the part, Marilyn Monroe's ghost appears and offers to become her personal acting coach. What follows is a whirlwind of awkward rehearsals and laugh-out-loud moments as Lexa tries to navigate high school theater accompanied by the spirit of a Hollywood legend. In this episode, Mima and I discuss her writing journey, why she believes Marilyn Monroe continues to fascinate audiences decades after her death, and how reimagining the ending of a cultural icon's story became a powerful way to process her own grief.

  Bookshop Interview with Author Carlyn Greenwald, Episode #275

  Jul 29, 202633 min

  Author Carlyn Greenwald discusses her latest novel, What Happened to Those Girls . This harrowing YA thriller is packed with secrets, betrayals, and a killer lurking in the woods. Emma has always been the black sheep of her friend group, so when her so-called friends leave for a camping trip without her, she's hurt, especially since she was the one who planned it—but she's not entirely surprised. What she doesn't expect is to wake up the next morning and learn that every one of them was found dead at the campsite. Did Emma survive simply because she was left behind? Or is there something more sinister at play? As the police begin their investigation and suspicions start to swirl, Emma finds herself in a race against the clock to uncover who murdered the girls—and why—before she becomes the prime suspect. In this episode, Carlyn and I discuss her writing journey, the influence that films like The Blair Witch Project had on the novel, and why even the darkest YA stories need to leave room for hope.

  Bookshop Interview with Author Derek Baxter, Episode #274

  Jul 22, 202643 min

  Author Derek Baxter discusses his latest book, The Forgotten World War: Exploring the Secret History of the American Revolution, from Spain to India and Back Again . Many of us think of the American Revolution as a colonial struggle: American colonies fighting for their independence from Britain. While that's certainly how the conflict began, it didn't stay that way for long. As Derek reveals in his book, the Revolutionary War quickly expanded into a global conflict, with battles being fought across multiple continents and oceans. Most people know about France's role in the war, but what about the Dutch Republic, the Oneida nation, or the Kingdome of Mysore in India? And while the Siege of Yorktown is often seen as the war's decisive conclusion, major fighting continued elsewhere around the world long after the guns fell silent in Virginia. In The Forgotten World War , Derek paints a much broader picture of the Revolution, revealing a conflict that was far more international—and far more complex—than many of us learned in school.

  Bookshop Interview with Author Brad Barkley, Episode #273

  Jul 15, 202636 min

  On today's episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet. I'm joined by author Brad Barkley to talk about his new young adult novel, The Reel Life of Zara Kegg . In this heartfelt story, sixteen-year-old Zara moves with her dad to a small town, still reeling from the loss of her mother. Life feels stalled—until Zara takes a job as a projectionist in a rundown movie house, a quiet refuge where she finds unexpected comfort in the glow of the old films. There she meets Zachary, a boy with odd clothes, odd stories, and a charm that masks his own struggles. What unfolds is a love story threaded with both comedy and tragedy, much like the movies playing on Zara's screen. In this episode, I'll chat with Brad about his writing journey, the importance of honest young adult stories, and how his love of old Super 8 films shaped this novel.
